Makila Nsika
As an almost unseen yet omnipresent element of modern times, the palm nut underpins a variety of global industries across the globe.
In the Republic of Congo, its kernel is food waste. Palms is a jewellery collection that introduces, as a valuable creative medium, the palm nut, celebrating its inherent versatility. The collection celebrates the dark woody beauty of the kernel, using recycled precious metals to elevate it to its true worth. Each piece blends artisanship with cutting-edge technology and weaves together symbols from the modern West with those of the ancient Kongo kingdoms.
